Dave W Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Reminds me of Hemileccinum subglabripes, which is a species of eastern NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 These resemble the Spring King Boletes that I found last year. If that's what they are, the tops of the stems should be reticulated; it's not clear in the photos above if that's the case here. However, the lower parts of the stalks may show scabers instead of the pattern on the kings, in which case they could be Leccinum discolor. The photos below show my specimens.

GCn15 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I would bet big money that they are leccinums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah, that'd be my guess, Leccinum. Although... are there species of Hemileccinum that occur in BC? I googled "Hemileccinum British Columbia" and got nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have them in Northern Canada east of the Rockies, and some are occasionally posted from the foothills of the Rockies on the Alberta Myco Society website.

Renee Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I live in the Kootenays, approx 8 hours from Vancouver and 30 mins from the border... they are popping up in the masses here. Unreal. I could watch them all day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Renee, if you harvest a few more of these, then... get a photo of one sectioned vertically; get a photo that provides a clear view of the surface of the stalk. Also, if you nobble/spit a tiny portion of material from a cap, noting the taste could be useful (a harmless diagnostic test for boletes; have some water on hand to rinse just in case it's bitter).
